Beginning with snv_129, an httpd testcase started failing.  The essence of the 
testcase is the following:

client connects to server over loopback
client sends HTTP header and blocks in another write() for 100000 bytes
server reads HTTP header
server writes response to client
server shuts down socket for write
server then goes into a loop:
  wait a short time for socket to be readable
  try to read 512 bytes

with snv_128a, the server is able to read the entire 100000 bytes from the 
client, 512 bytes at a time

with snv_129, the server only gets 1 byte at a time from the client and 
eventually gives up

if the same client program runs on snv_111b and connects to the server on 
snv_129 over the e1000g0 interface, the server is able to read the entire 
100000 bytes from the client, 512 bytes at a time

if the client program runs on the server system but uses the e1000g0 interface 
instead of 127.0.0.1, it fails in the same way

some config details:
* snv_128a and snv_129 were running on top of VirtualBox on top of 2009.06
* the client is /usr/bin/perl (5.8.4), though as truss shows it stuck in 
write(...,...,100000) during the interesting period, I don't think that matters
* the server is not the integrated Apache but a standalone build; the same 
binaries and configuration are used for both snv_128a and snv_129

Does this ring a bell, or should I experiment further?  Any hints on what to 
experiment with next?
